Background on Plant

The four existing subcritical coal-fired units of Guizhou Fa'er power station, totaling 2,400 MW, were brought online between 2007 and 2010. The total investment is about ¥10.5 billion.

The first two units of the plant was invested and sponsored by Guizhou Jinyuan Group, which later became a subsidiary of CPI. In 2008, Fa'er Power Company was established to manage and develop the plant. The proportion of the investment is China Datang Guizhou Power Co: 51%; CPI Guizhou Jinyuan Group 42%; Yan Kuang Group Guizhou Energy & Chemical Industry Co: 7%. China Datang since then became the controlling shareholder of the plant.

In 2005, the first two units were halted by 4 ministries of the Central Government, due to its Incomplete procedures and unapproved construction.

The second phase of the power plant was permitted by NDRC in 2010. In the same year it was reported that the four units were in non-compliance for their desulfurization technology.

Description of Expansion

Datang apparently had plans to build two additional coal-fired units at this plant, with a total capacity of 1,200 MW.

However, there appear to be no other public sources of information about the units, and they appear to have been cancelled.
